    I did the AG trail series relocation with a 12" shock. I've been happy with them but now I wish I'd gone with a 14" since I'm considering a 63" leaf spring swap in the future. The shocks are basically the same price so why not go longer and future proof.

    14" are quite long if you go 2.5" so the lower mount will hang down.
    But if you need more than 12" think you just need to do it.
    I had the 2" x 14" 7100 bilstein short bodies and the lower shock mount wasn't below my axle.
    Just went to some 2.5" Foxes and I went with 12" but I have Deaver Stg 3 springs and only use maybe 11".

    Couple shock companies now make a short body 14" and heard you can get 1" shorter shaft ends
    The 12" and 14" Foxes are 3" longer compressed and 5" longer extended 32.43 VS 37.37
